Let's divide 121492 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 121492 can be divided by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 38

On to step 3:
38 can be fit into 121 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 114 from 121.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 74 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 38 from 74 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 369 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 369 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 319.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 342 from 369.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 38

Step 6:
38 goes into 272 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3197.0
Subtract 266 from 272 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3197.1
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3197.15
If we subtract 190 from 220, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.1578
If we subtract 304 from 340, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.15789
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 342 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3197.157894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.1578947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.15789473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3197.15789473 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
